NEVER SO FEW REVIEWED
“Never So Few” is two tales in one. Frank Sinatra frames these stories as they range between drug trafficking tales to outright men on a mission. Peter Lawford, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen and Frank Sinatra get to do their thing with machine guns blazing. All the while, Gina Lollobrigida gets to linger on the edges of the frame as a femme fatale type. I really wish that the film would have stuck to one side or the other. But, I guess you needed the China Gate style trappings to frame Frank Sinatra’s quest.
What a lot of people forget is that this was Steve McQueen’s major studio debut. The lad went from creature features like The Blob to palling around with Sinatra like it was second nature. As someone who digs these kinds of film, I feel like not enough of the movie focused on McQueen’s development. Bill Ringa is one of the great movie guerillas of American cinema, but most movie fans couldn’t even remember this movie. Not sure what’s up with that, but rectify it by picking up the movie today.
